Parent article: An LWN reader survey

I have an alternate spin here. I've been against comments since they were implemented, indeed I modified my account settings soley to comment on the survey, since no other form of custom input was provided (shame!).

LWN = Linux Weekly News. It's not /., not a discussion board, not a community forum. And it shouldn't try to be those things.

I subscribe to LWN as I consider it an electronic weekly paper of great quality. However, I use it in that manner; I read once a week the weekly edition. I'm not interested in daily stories and as I mentioned, comments, no thanks. The letters page is the proper response forum.

In closing I'd like to thank LWN and I will continue to thank you with my wallet.

Ps. Please don't respond for my benefit, as I'll be turning off comments again Real Soon.

The comments were one of the reasons I paid for a subscription. While some of them can be a waste of space, there are still enough informative and insightful comments to be valuable, especially on the more technical subjects.
